Amber's pov

He pulled me; leading me towards the stairs. We quietly crept downstairs, not without leaving a few creaks behind. Finally making ourselves downstairs he placed a finger on his lips, signaling me to stay quiet.

I nodded,"Do you think-" he placed a hand on my mouth. I glared at him, he turned his head looking for any sign of my mom. He looked towards the kitchen, where the front door was, and softly chuckled. I looked at him in confusion wondering what could be funny. Leaning in front of him to get a better look, I spot my mom dancing to "Y.M.C.A" while singing badly. She placed her arms in the air to spell out the letters.

He looked back at me and smiling uncontrollably trying to hold his laughter in. My cheeks flushed red in embarrassment as I held my head down. "Young man, are you listening to me?" My mom continued singing. "I said, young man, what do you want to be?"

I began to drag him towards the stairs because he was about to crack up laughing. He stayed in his place," Wait, I want to hear her sing some more." I rolled my eyes," Come on." He finally gave up and followed me back up the stairs.

While climbing back up the stairs he began singing softly," It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A." He began to mimic her hand motions while singing. I stepped back a step, stomping on his foot. He flinched in pain, I gave him a crooked smile, sending me a glare in response. We finally made it up the stairs heading towards my bedroom.

I sat back on the bed. He followed, sitting next to me. "Now you know what your mom does when your not at home." He nudged at me, pushing him gently to the side. "Never mention this to me ever again." I commanded. "Not promising a thing." He smirked. I shook my head in response.

"It could be worse," He stated," She could be dancing to "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt." He began to take off his shirt again while singing the song. I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "You just scarred me for life." I laughed.

"You're welcome." He winked at me. "Whatever." I rolled my eyes smiling, "Anyways, how are we going to leave now?" Looking around the room, he stared focusing his attention to my window. "What about-" he pointed towards the window. "No." I would've thought he actually remember about what happened last time.

***Flashback****
When I was about 8 years old I loved to climb on things, so heights weren't really a problem for me. One day Kaiden dragged me to go walking through the woods with him and there we both spotted was a rusty old ladder leading up to an old tree house.

"Cmon Kaiden." He shook his head, nervously. " I shrugged,"Fine with me."
He stayed where he was and watched me as I climbed to the top of the ladder and went inside the treehouse. Inside was cold, dusty, and seemed like no one has been up there for years.

The only thing up there was an old stuffed bear that had only one eye and a cut off ear. I wanted to get a better look so I walked around, examining ever inch. The floorboards creaked as I stepped on them.

Suddenly, I stepped on a broken floorboard I falling through it. I roughly landed on the ground. "Amber!" Corbin screamed. Without realizing it some debris fell along with me.
Leaving me blacking out and Kaiden running towards me. He beginning to gently cradle my head, crying.

I couldn't remember anything and woked up in a hospital bed. My head pounding, still hurting from the fall. I turned my head to the left seeing my mom and Kaiden's parents sleeping in some chairs. I turned to my right, surprised to see Corbin's head down. I didn't have to see his face to know he was crying.

"Kaiden..." I softly let out. He surprisedly grabbed me and started hugging me tightly.
He stood by my bed and cried,"I'm sorry..." He muttered. "It's okay." I placed my hand on his back, embracing him,"It's not your fault."

"I....should'n... hav..brought you...to the woods." He let out.
"Oh your awake." A soft voice came from across the room. I let go of Kaiden and softly pushed him away. Turning my attention directly to the nurse, I nodded in response. "I'm sorry I guess I ruined the moment." She giggled staring at Corbin and looking back at me,"How are you feeling?"

"Good." I simply replied. "Well we have some bad news." Letting out a loud sigh," You seem to have fractured your knee. We took some x-Rays and I think you may have some broken bones." I stared at her in confusion, still being too young to understand and tried to sit up straight. Ahhh, a shot of pain ran through my right knee. I gasped and flinched in pain grabbing the sheet covering my leg, surprised to find it bandaged up.

"Are you okay?" He looked at me with sad eyes.

Before I any chance to reply, my mother came rushing to my side. "Oh sweetie, are you okay?" She cradled me in her arms like Kaiden had. "Ya, but my knee..." I managed to say. "I know sweetie," she looked directly at me with pleading eyes," Can you please be brave for me?"

I stared at her in confusion as I did the same to the nurse. Was I the only person here who didn't know what was going on? "It's going to be okay, but they're going to try to fix it." She pointed to my knee. I nodded telling her I understand although I had no idea. Everyone was just babbling and I had no idea what was going on.

" I love you." She let out a tear. "I love you too mom." She smiled sweetly at me,"You know he waited until you woken up,"She looked at Kaiden,"But he was crying up a storm. You know without him, we wouldn't be able to find you." She winked at me. He didn't say anything, keeping his head down.

My mom left the room not without giving me a kiss on the head and brought Corbin's parents outside the hospital room. She pushed the nurse along with the them, leaving only me and him. I turned my attention back to him. "She's right you know." I smiled trying to cheer him up. "Well if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place." A tear escaped his eye.

I grabbed his hand,"It's not your fault." I reassured him. "I shouldn't have climbed up there and I should've stayed down there with you." He nodded,"I'm going to go." he kept his head down while making his way out the door. "Bye Corbin." I waved. He didn't respond but just kept his head down.

After I thought for a few moments I fell back to sleep.

I didn't quite remember doctors having to do surgery on my knee, but I remembered I wasn't able to walk for about month. I hated being lonely especially when my mom was always working, although she makes an exception once a well. The only person who ever visit me, besides my mom, was Kaiden. He visited me every afternoon until visiting times were over. He would always make up a lame excuse when he comes though like, 'My mom made me come' or 'My parents are at work and I was bored.'

I would never believe him because he always had a smile on his face when came to see me. He would also always bring me food his mom have made him and cheer me up.

Since that incident I always hated heights.

***Flashback Over***

But I wouldn't blame him for not remembering. He's the type of person who would always look on the bright side of things. He never showed weakness. I let out a sigh, today is going to be different. I will be fearless, to not be afraid and just go for it. "...yeah." I hesitated. "Yeah, what?" He stared at me in confusion. Oh yeah, I sorta spaced out a while.

"Let's climb out the window." I clarified. He held a huge smile on his face. "What?" I stared at him. "Nothing," he held the creepy grin on his face,"You're just..." He thought hard but didn't add on to his statement. Taking that as a compliment I smiled shyly back.

"Why thank you." Making my way out the window,"I never knew I was so amazing that I couldn't be described in words." I flipped my hair back. He laughed,"Whatever."
